Bionic prosthetic hands hold the potential to replicate the functionality of human hands. The
use of bionic limbs can assist amputees in performing everyday activities. This article …

Objective: Human neuromuscular reflex control provides a biological model for a compliant
hand prosthesis. Here we present a computational approach to understanding the emerging …

Objective Sensory feedback of upper-limb prostheses is widely desired and studied. As
important components of proprioception, position, and movement feedback help users to …

Significant advances have been made to improve control and to provide sensory functions
for bionic hands. However, great challenges remain, limiting wide acceptance of bionic …

The human hand has compliant properties arising from muscle biomechanics and neural
reflexes, which are absent in conventional prosthetic hands. We recently proved the …

Remarkable compliance of human hands due to muscular biomechanics and neural
reflexes, attributes lacking in conventional prosthetic hands. Our prior study replicated …

Background Reaching movements are crucial for daily living and rehabilitation, for which
Fitts' Law describes a speed-accuracy trade-off that movement time increases with task …

Background Advanced prosthetic hands may embed nanosensors and microelectronics in
their cosmetic skin. Heat influx may cause damage to these delicate structures. Protecting …

In this paper, a novel prototype of a cable-driven prosthetic hand with biorealisitic muscle
property was developed. A pair of antagonistic muscles controlled the flexion and extension …

Objective Physiologically relevant optimal controllers better represent the decision-making
process of the central nervous system (CNS) with proper neural inputs and proprioceptor …
